Look - rockets are pretty damn exciting. I watch them go up every chance I get. But the "ZOMG why don't they crash all the time" thing is uncalled for. They don't crash all the time because they're triple-and-quadruple checked. Every time someone says "it's amazing" you're denigrating the very people who earn their living making it mundane.
